Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 217: Detective Tang 2’s box office exceeded 4 million on its first day!
"..."

A private flight soared into the night sky, heading north along the night sky and leaving Haikou.

After completing multiple airborne landings and completing the trip, Mr. Xu didn't waste a second and slipped back to Huacheng.

It does not take up any extra time from the main creative staff of Detective Tang 2 who are also accompanying me.

Don't even listen to any flattery.

It was as if all the lively scenes today had nothing to do with Xu.

It's all over and he brushes his clothes away, hiding his merit and fame.

It reflects Mr. Xu's life state of being extremely indifferent to fame and fortune.

At this moment, Xu Nian withdrew his gaze, pulled down the sun visor of the porthole, adjusted the back of the chair and fell asleep.

He didn't pay attention to what Meng Chao said, "The outside world has turned into a mess."

Calculating the time, just when we return to Huacheng, today's box office data will be fully released.

Xu Nian now only cares about the results anyway.

However, the players who are surfing enthusiastically at this moment are not only concerned about the results, but also particularly concerned about the process...

As usual, the surfing of gossip, chatting, complaining and pointing fingers is concentrated on the Weibo platform.

"Sure enough, it was a very good choice to travel to Hainan during the National Day. Not only did I watch a movie for free, but I also met Xu Nian~"

"To be honest, Xu Nian is actually as unphotogenic as the rumors say. He is more... how should I say, clearer than the photos!"

"Yes, I dare say that if Xu Nian takes a sightseeing bus and travels across our country, there will be at least twice as many fans!"

"It's hard to imagine that such a star could be so shameless..."

Moviegoers who met Xu offline could not help but criticize and criticize Xu.

The main reason is that it is not easy to meet Xu Nian offline. It is already difficult for two people to meet in a huge crowd.

Secondly, as a simple example, the vast majority of Chinese people have never seen any celebrity in their lives.

Compared with other top celebrities, Xu Nian's public schedule is a bit too small.

So much so that just an ordinary fan meeting can turn into a crowd of 5 people, and the tickets are sold out in seconds.

In addition, in order to reduce the impact on public order in the country, Xu Nian has no longer made his schedule public.

The airport pick-up, station pick-up and other procedures that other top hotels have, Xu Nian does not have at all.

Even movie premieres and roadshow promotions are done in a 'lottery' format.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with pointing fingers when you encounter it.

Then there are some comments from Chigua netizens on today’s hot search topics:
"It's okay. Detective Tang 2 started to dominate one side without any surprise."

"This time the [-]th gear feels a bit unexpectedly weak, and the performance of the Hollywood film that is extremely popular around the world is a bit average."

“I went to watch all the movies in the eleventh schedule. Hollywood blockbusters are still the third best, so the performance is average;
"Ten Thousand Cities" has a confusing narrative and never makes the story clear;

...I went to Detective Tang 2 just to see Xu’s handsome face. Generally, one movie in a series is not as good as the other, but I didn’t expect it to be pretty good. "

"I am more concerned about the mental state of the main creative staff of "Ten Thousand Cities". The box office of the premiere was a bit poor~"

"Am I the only one who is still waiting to watch? There are no reserved theaters in my city, and all the movies on the [-]th schedule have not given me a reason to go to the cinema."

"..."

These comments are gradually getting closer to the excitement of today's entertainment section.

It should be said that today, this excitement is the only one that makes netizens want to complain.

Because today there is no rare traffic jam, no crazy tourism, and no other celebrations.

It's a relatively ordinary eleven.

I always have to have some fun during my long vacation with nothing to do~
.........

After pointing fingers, fussing, and nagging, I finally came back to discussing the film itself.

With the sudden increase in the number of moviegoers, actual discussions about Detective 2 on online social media platforms have also increased significantly.

Subjective, objective, professional, all kinds of long film reviews popped up:
“I originally thought the sequel would be unsatisfactory at best, but I didn’t expect it to be surprisingly good;

The disembowelment of a serial murderer is a rare case of fully considering the suspect's excellent knowledge of human anatomy;

The profiling of the agents is very professional, and there should be professional guidance around the cases being written;

The protagonist Xu Feng's skills in the film fully reflect his 'super detective' qualities, and Xu Nian's performance is tailor-made for the role!

Of course... there are also some flaws, such as the logical loophole that requires men to dress up as women, such as...

One thing to say, I personally don’t really like ‘adulterated’ jokes, but it cannot be denied that it is very helpful to enhance the movie-watching experience and allows the audience to relax occasionally;

It is said that it is Xu's comedy style, so I combined the three movies starring Xu Nian: Detective Tang 1, The Ex, and Detective Tang 2. It is really difficult to refute this view. This is probably the most surprising thing to me;

I even followed the crowd and came up with the idea: 'Xu Nian is illiterate, but he also has a comedy style? '

Thinking about it now, I just feel that I am very narrow-minded, and it is not that difficult to admit that Xu is excellent~"

“First of all, my personal evaluation is... Detective Tang 2 is quite satisfactory, it’s not bad, but it’s not that great.

One of the important points I think is that the originality of Tang Detective 2 is not consistent enough throughout, and there are suspicions of borrowing and adapting the plot;

I can even say that if Li Cheng continues to make the Tang Detective series and there are not enough changes, then...

In fact, I personally think that Li Cheng's precipitation time is too short, and his talent is not enough to support the conception of a new drama in such a short period of time.

On the whole, it can barely be regarded as a flaw.

The following are some logical loopholes involving spoilers, please feel free to skip them..."

"..." After its official release, Tang Detective 2's initial ratings on professional film review websites like Rotten Persimmon have been released.

It's a bit higher than Tangtan 1's current rating of 7.7, but not much.

8.6 points.

It’s a relatively high opening score.

But it's not particularly high.

Because the rating of a film is easy to gradually decline over time, and the general trend is getting lower and lower.

What is more optimistic at present is that four-star and five-star ratings account for a very large proportion, followed by three-star ratings.

There are very few one or two star ratings.

This shows that the overall satisfaction of the first batch of audiences is very good, and the reputation since the screening is also not bad.

From this perspective, it's not bad.

In addition, most film reviews on platforms such as Rotten Persimmon are quite objective.

While pointing out the problems, we also recognized the advantages.

In a sense, the objective evaluation is basically correct, and Li Chengchen, who is also the chief screenwriter, is indeed not enough.

His screenwriting talent may not be that outstanding, and it would be difficult for him to write one film a year.

Even if he didn't have to consider too much comedy effect, there wasn't enough time for him to polish the script more carefully.

Without some adjustments on set, the actual effect might have been even worse.

If we continue to film Detective Tang 3 next year, it will probably end up wasting a lot of money and emotions.

But this is all for later.

At the moment when Mr. Xu is taking a flight back to Huacheng, the most exciting thing on the Weibo platform is... Guess the first-day box office of Detective Tang 2!

On the first night of the National Day holiday, everyone had some fun together, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Open the market, guess the final box office of Tang Detective 2 on the first day, choose one of the four and customize, the customization must be accurate...

3.45 million, 3.78 million, 3.86 million, 4.21 million, custom:”

The reason why the lowest value is as high as 3.45 million is obviously because the box office on the first day so far has exceeded 3 million.

And at around 9 p.m., Detective Tang 2’s box office on the first day had already exceeded 3 million, reaching 3.2 million.

There are still at least two movie ticket sales before the end of today, and there is still some room for box office data.

After all, it’s the eleventh day. Let’s hang out, eat, and then go to the cinema to watch a movie to end this happy day...

This launch attracted more than 5000 million users to participate, which is not bad considering Weibo’s daily active volume of 5 million.

"The intervals between these options are too large. It must be intentional. I vote for custom 3.9999 million, which makes Xu very angry."

"There are only two shows left, and the box office of the private show has been calculated long ago. The increase will not be too big. It is estimated to be 3.5 million at most."

"What, it's already over 3.49 million... This opening is a bit underwhelming."

"3.9999 million is the most perfect figure. I said, I hope God will give me face!"

"..."

…………

The distance from Haikou to Huacheng is very short, less than [-] kilometers. If there is no strait blocking it, the faster way may be high-speed rail.

Therefore, it is rare for the Gulfstream G700 to fly slightly slower to minimize the discomfort caused by taking off and landing too quickly.

So much so that we arrived at Huacheng after an hour and 10 minutes.

However, even this is a little earlier than the closing of today's box office market.

It wasn't until Xu Nian got off the plane and left the airport on a familiar Coaster that the box office was finally set.

The manager Meng Chao, who is always competent at the right time, reported important news in a timely manner.

"The first-day box office of Detective Tang 2 has come out, 40239 million, slightly over 4 million."

"However, considering that there are some all-day bookings across the country, the actual box office consumption should be around 3.2 million."

"Maybe a little more."

"The attendance rate is very optimistic. The overall attendance rate exceeds 45%. The actual attendance rate should be about 35%."

After listening to Meng Chao's report, Xu Nian nodded happily and didn't say much.

This result is of course very good.

First of all, movies with high screening rates will not have very good attendance rates because the audience will be diluted by a large number of screenings.

Generally, a level of about 25% is considered very strong.

Secondly, the box office on the first day exceeded RMB 4 million. Although the movie was booked by a rich man, it was a bit beyond Xu Nian's expectations.

Putting aside everything else, from the 4 million box office, Xu can directly share... 3000 million.

Even though it’s after tax, it’s still so cool!
It can even make Xu not care so much about Tianyue’s investment share. Anyway, there won’t be much money after one share.
Almost at the same time, the official announcement account of Detective Tang 2 released celebratory posters on all platforms.

What stands out are three very simple words——

"Breaking 4 million!"

Not even highlighting the two more important prefixed adjectives 'first day'.

The main theme is understatement, nonchalant, and even out of tune with the current carnival on social media platforms such as Weibo...
